https://www.npr.org/2026/08/01/nx-s1...nsider-tradingStarting Saturday, for a fee of up to $100,000 a month, trading firms can access "Truth API" to get a glimpse of the president's often market-moving announcements about economic policy and global affairs before the rest of the world.
Trump's media company says customers have already started signing up. Such an offering would give ins utional investors a leg up in areas of finance like high-frequency trading, where an advantage of a few milliseconds can mean the difference of millions of dollars. But will the service be widely adopted across Wall Street?
"It's insane," said one Wall Street executive, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation from the Trump administration. "I can say for myself and 200 of my friends in finance, we're not getting anywhere near this. In another administration, this would be considered criminal."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ney-launderingCapital One says it closed Trump Organization’s accounts after anti-money-laundering review
Capital One Financial hit back on Friday against a lawsuit over its decision to close the Trump Organization’s bank accounts years ago, stating that it did so after a review by anti-money-laundering experts.
The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money-laundering concerns to Donald Trump’s family business. Capital One is seeking to dismiss the case by casting doubt on claims of illegally debanking – or denying services on religious or political grounds – the Trump Organization.
The Trump Organization and Capital One did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Capital One has never accused the Trump Organization of money laundering. But Friday’s filing argues that “do ents and Plaintiffs’ own #allegations make clear that Capital One closed #Plaintiffs’ accounts for anti-money laundering (‘AML’) reasons.
“The closures were the result of months of analysis and a careful review by #Capital One’s AML team in accordance with bank policies and regulatory guidance.”
Capital One gave notice of its plans to close more than 300 Trump-affiliated bank accounts in March 2021.

Trump is a very shady individual

https://www.businessinsider.com/max-...am-book-2021-9The Times reported that, according to Grisham's book, an unnamed White House official nicknamed the "Music Man" was tapped to play the president his favorite show tunes to stop him when he was about to throw a tantrum.
Trump is a crook
apnews.com/article/trum...Bank accounts held by President Donald Trump were closed by Capital One in 2021 after it flagged financial activity that had characteristics of money laundering, the bank disclosed in a court filing over the weekend.
No problem he'll just pardon himself
we'd probably never have found out that Capital One cancelled Trump's accounts nor the reason why (suspected money laundering) -- if he hadn't sued Capital One

Trump's sued the BBC for defaming him and damaging his business, but he doesn't want to reveal information about his business that could prove or disprove it
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/0...-trump-lawsuitPresident Donald Trump is seeking to stave off a court order that requires him to begin giving the BBC financial details on his business empire by Thursday in connection with a defamation lawsuit he is pressing against the network.
I never understood the knuckling under to Trump in civil court. He'll never actually go through discovery.
failure by own metrics so far

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business...ncial-records/Trump drops claim BBC harmed his businesses
Donald Trump has dropped his claim that the BBC caused financial harm to his businesses as part of his $10bn (£7.5bn) defamation battle with the broadcaster.
His lawyers said they no longer plan to pursue the claim that BBC’s Panorama do entary caused financial harm to the president’s brands and businesses. He will continue to pursue personal damages against the BBC.
Mr Trump filed a lawsuit in December after The Telegraph revealed that the broadcaster had misleadingly edited his Jan 6 address before the Capitol riots. He accused the broadcaster of defamation and demanded compensation for damages.
As part of the ongoing lawsuit, the US president has been fighting an order to hand over records on the financial performance of his companies at the BBC’s behest.
Enjoliqué Lett, a US magistrate judge, issued the order in July because Mr Trump had claimed that his “brand, properties and business” were damaged by the do entary, which aired in 2024.
The BBC has sought the financial records to investigate this claim. By handing over the records as part of discovery the information would eventually become public.
...
The case was laughable on the facts -- Trump would have to prove that a significant number of Floridians who could somehow financially harm Trump watched the same BBC video using a VPN among other things -- but as predicted: discovery TACO.
This is too easy if you just have the funds to get that far.
What a crooked dumbass
sounds great
I guess I shouldn't be surprised so many powerful business firms and ins utions have caved to Trump preemptively
Like Trump isn't going to shear those sheep every year...
The main tension here is whether the UK judge will let Trump rewrite his complaint to include only the hit to his reputation.
As if he didn't encourage an armed mob to storm Congress during a joint session to save the country -- Trump 100% did.
Trump tried to overturn a duly certified election after losing 60 legal challenges.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/p...als-cost-poll/A Marquette Law School Supreme Court poll conducted at the end of July found that 88% of respondents said the U.S. has “not achieved its goals” compared to 12% who said the war has been a success. Additionally, 75% said the war has not been “worth the cost,” and 25% said it has been an effort well spent.

longtime pattern (since well before Trump) continues: downward jobs revisions
https://bsky.app/profile/bobeunlimit.../3msioz4kgrt2dThe collapse in informal sector employment is the biggest labor market theme not getting attention.
While everyone focuses on payrolls (blue), the HH survey (red) includes informal work and is picking up the broader weakness at the economy-wide level.
